The biggest spoiler I am surprised hasn’t got out is the part where Janet Van Dyne (played by Tara Reid) designs the Mark IX suit and starts an affair with Rhodey whilst a jealous Hank Pym (Played by Keanu) looks one, punching ants.
The both do British accents too.
Of course I am joking.
…Or am I?
I haven’t have a chance to post yet this week, but gotta say that I love the IM2 story line. Great job, Tom! The new site layout looks great too.
Theater I work at played a double feature last night, Iron Man at 845pm then Iron Man 2 at midnight. So I got to watch them both back to back. So I can say that Iron Man 2 was NOT to Iron Man what The Dark Knight was to Batman Begins. That being said, if you liked the first one, I don’t see any reason you shouldn’t like the second one.
Possible spoiler (though really not)
What struck me as really odd was that scenes shown in the trailer were not in the film (least spoiler-y example), the whole, kissing/tossing helmet “go get ’em boss”/”you complete me” exchange. weird.
I thought Iron Man 2 was a disappointment. It was all over the place. Not sure whether that was the fault of the editing or the screen-play. Either way, it took too long to get going, too many ’emotional’ bits (primarily from Gwnyth’s overacting), the last 5 minutes were just a set-up to the next film, too many plot devices and, incredibly, not enough Iron Man-smacking-the-crap-out-of-stuff. Scarlett Johansson was the best thing in the film. Oh, and War Machine’s suit was pretty cool.
If you can’t believe Iron Man 2 is happening, you should look at Robert Downey Jr’s IMDB page. That says that says Iron Man 3 is already in development. So it seems like he’s going to be working on Iron Man 3, The Avengers, and Sherlock Holmes all the same time…a busy busy man.
Please have, at least, three more! Jared needs to intervene.
I just got back from “Iron Man 2” and thought it was a lot of fun. The action scenes were somewhat far and few between, but that give the filmmakers more time to explore Tony Stark’s personal demons. The overall effect was that Stark was made more human.
Whiplash said it best after his initial capture that “If you can make God bleed, people will cease to believe in him.”
I only wish War Machine had more screen time.
I went to the midnight screening Thursday (or would that make it Friday?). That’s the first time I’ve gone to an opening showing at midnight and I’d say it was a pretty good movie to kick off with. Fun movie, I didn’t notice a lack of action (I require less to be pleased than others) and I was grinning like an idiot most of the time. Except for the parts that only Victor would be smiling through.
Also! Someone showed up in costume! 😀 I thought that was pretty awesome, and his costume was pretty spiffy too. The face plate went up and down and the appropriate places on the suit lit up. At the end of the movie, the ushers actually pointed him out to the rest of the people.
Stay after the credits.
I haven’t dropped by in a few days due to a hectic week at work but I gotta say (completely Iron Man 2 non-related) the new layout is super spiffy! I love the pictures with the tabs at the top of the page! Enough to use two exclamation marks in consecutive sentences and be completely sincere about it!
Iron Man 2 related, I think it was a mixed bag. There were more things about this movie that made me unhappy than there were in the first but there were also a lot more things that got me way more hyped up than anything in the first movie did. But surprisingly, I was a little disappointed by Samuel L. Jackson. Maybe that’s just because I actually read the Ultimate X-Men line of comics and met the comic book version of Nickuel L. Jackfury first. I expected more of that guy.
I saw a pre-screening on Wednesday of Iron Man 2, and it’s a fun sequel. However, it does suffer from what I call “sequelitis,” which is that they sacrifice plot for action. Sure, you get to see Iron Man do everything you ever wanted (and probably a few things you never thought you’d see in a movie), but ultimately the story is the same as the first flick – but we get to see more of the suit.
Not necessarily a bad thing, mind you.
Really? Most people are complaining about a lack of action. Also, I don’t really think the story is that similar to the first one, though there are parallels which there will always be in a series.
